Immune Exhaustion in Chronic Infection and Cancer: Signaling Pathways and Therapeutic Interventions

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Immune exhaustion is a well‐established hallmark of both cancer and chronic infection. This review proposes a novel “infection–exhaustion–tumor axis” framework, wherein chronic pathogens (e.g., oncogenic viruses) evade immune surveillance by hijacking inflammatory signaling to drive immune cell exhaustion, thereby creating immunosuppressive niches ...

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) for Evaluating Regulatory Compliance of Drug Information and Clinical Trial Protocols

open access: yesCPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The purpose was to evaluate retrieval‐augmented generative (RAG) artificial intelligence (AI) methods for assessing the regulatory compliance of drug information and adherence to best practices in clinical trial protocols. Integrated systems containing RAG and large language model (LLM) components were employed to evaluate drug information and

Vaping and Tuberculosis: An Overlooked Risk in High‐Burden South Asian Countries

open access: yesPublic Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that remains one of the most pressing threats to public health, especially in South Asian countries. Despite being curable, it is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, driven by factors such as poverty, lack of nutrition, HIV infection, and overcrowding of individuals.

Design of Bayesian Clinical Trials With Clustered Data

open access: yesStatistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 6-7, March 2026.
ABSTRACT In the design of clinical trials, it is essential to assess the design operating characteristics (e.g., power and the type I error rate). Common practice for the evaluation of operating characteristics in clinical trials that employ Bayesian analysis and decision procedures relies on estimating the sampling distribution of posterior summaries ...

Biofilm Associated Persistence and Drug Tolerance in Mycobacteria Within Host Microenvironments

open access: yesAPMIS, Volume 134, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Biofilms formed by mycobacteria, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), represent a major challenge in tuberculosis (TB) treatment due to their highly organized structure and their capacity to induce phenotypic drug tolerance. These three‐dimensional bacterial aggregates are embedded in a self‐produced extracellular matrix that ...

D‐Dimer: A Mediator of the Association Between Lymphocyte and Dissemination of Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study

open access: yesThe Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 20, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study identifies D‐dimer as a key mediator between lymphocyte depletion and pulmonary tuberculosis dissemination. Our findings reveal that reduced lymphocyte counts increase dissemination risk partly by elevating D‐dimer levels, suggesting a critical link between immune deficiency and coagulopathy.
